About Xtreme Hike

Xtreme Hike, Grand Canyon, is an event that will
raise critical funds for cystic fibrosis as well as create an environment where
participants can tackle hiking one of the wonders of the world. It will consist of a 21-mile one-day hike. The Arizona Chapter will be taking
hikers from the north rim to to the south rim. All hikers will enjoy accommodations for
three days/two nights at a Grand Canyon hotel. This includes an energizing,
pre-hike pasta party on Friday night, and a victory/awards breakfast on Sunday
before you return home. In order to participate, hikers have a suggested
minimum fundraise of $3,000 in pledges. This amount can raised by sending a
letter writing campaign, requesting donations on facebook, email, you can host
a fundraising event. This will be a great and rewarding weekend for everyone
involved!

Important note on attendance for people with CF and their families:

To
reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at Foundation-sponsored events,
we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning their
hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering their
cough or sneeze with a tissue or their inner elbow and maintaining a safe
6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection.

As
an added precaution to preserve the health and safety of people with CF, the
Foundation has an attendance policy for all Foundation events. Medical evidence
shows that potentially destructive germs may spread among people with CF. These
germs can lead to worse symptoms and speed decline in lung function. We know
that some of these germs can be spread through direct and indirect contact as
well as through droplets that travel short distances through the air when a
person coughs or sneezes.

To
reduce the risk of cross-infection at events that we sponsor, we will only
invite one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of the event. For the
outdoor portion of the event, people with CF should maintain a safe 6-foot
distance from each other. Please be aware that more than one person with CF may
choose to attend without notifying event organizers. The Foundation cannot
accept responsibility for any risk to health involved in attending events. We
encourage you and your family to consider all potential risks while making
informed decisions about your health.
